Robertson should be in the final. He was the form player coming into the World Championship and all the other big guns/in form players are in the bottom half of the draw.
Captain Carter leading Jack Lisowski 8-4 and a good chance of 9-4.

Captain Carter has beaten Jack Lisowski 10-6.
Robertson leading Murphy 5-2. Last frame of the session, Murphy has it wrapped up with 11 reds and 11 blacks and is after the 147.
14 reds 14 blacks. Awkward last red though and misses it.
Second Round line up complete now. Selby still looking well short of his best. Trailing Gary Wilson 3-5. Neil Robertson leading Shaun Murphy 5-3.

Shaun Murphy 
Hammer blow for Shaun Murphy first frame of the morning. 66 point lead and missed a very easy pink on frame ball. Difficult table for Robertson with 67 remaining, but he got it for a 6-3 lead.
Murphy misses another easy red probably still thinking about that missed pink.

a bit of a reprieve for murphy there with robertson missing the blue - should be 6-4 now.

7-4 Robertson leads
and its 2-1 to maguire on the other table.
murphy wins a great 12th frame to trail by 2 now.
its all square on the other table.
Robertson not playing all that well.
another crucial frame here- murphy should have won it but robertson is in on the colours with a great chance of a steal.
maguire leads 5-2 on the other table.
8-6 now to robertson - murphy must be seething tho as he threw away at least 2 frames this morning.
9-6 Now to robbo-- he stole another frame!
Some shot there by Gary Wilson to split the reds. Follow through with top spin.
In a good position here to go 8-7 up on Selby.
And Wilson knocks in a century. He’s a tidy player.

And 76 for Wilson to go 9-7 up overnight.
He hit a peach of a safety shot in the last frame which indirectly led to his opening which he took in one visit.
Selby really up against it here.
Wilson could win this. Selby is a long way off his best and has struggled with his form for two years now.
